===After ''Late Night''===
Richter left his post at ''Late Night'' in 2000 to pursue a career acting in films and television. His first major venture, [[Fox Network|Fox]]'s ''[[Andy Richter Controls the Universe]]'', was canceled after two mid-season runs. His next Fox sitcom, ''[[Quintuplets]]'', lasted one season. His 2007 television series, ''[[Andy Barker P.I.]]'', was co-written and executive produced by [[Conan O'Brien]]. In the series, Richter played an accountant who could not attract clients.<ref>{{cite news |title=NBC cancels 'Andy Barker, PI' |url=https://variety.com/2007/scene/markets-festivals/nbc-cancels-andy-barker-pi-1117962708/ |newspaper=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=April 9, 2007 |first=Josef |last=Adalian}}</ref> After a woman comes to his office thinking he is the former tenant, a private investigator, she asks him to find her husband, who she thinks faked his death. Barker decides to pursue this job and becomes a private detective in earnest, and continues to do his accounting job, which seems to pick up as the series goes on. The series aired on NBC, with all six episodes in the first season on NBC.com. The series was canceled after very poor ratings, despite being named by ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' as one of the Top Ten Shows of 2007.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Flynn |first=Gillian |date=March 9, 2007 |title=Andy Barker, P.I. |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=http://ew.com/article/2007/03/09/andy-barker-pi/ |access-date=October 7, 2017}}</ref>
